There is no easy way to query an object get a list of objects and properties although it is possible.

The best way is to search the web for the documentation if there is any.

A search outlook object model will get you all you need for MS Outlook

A search word object model will get you all you need for MS Word

similar searches should find what you need for most COM objects. Be aware however that some COM objects have no publicly available documentation as their developers did not intend them to be used externally.

Where is defined which "function" or pointer i can use behind the dot?

I hope you get my question and any input is appreciated.

the com/object viewer mentioned in the COM help file also is a great assett in locating functions for com objects that autoit can support. Simply load up the viewer, find the one you want, and look at the interfaces, pretty easy to read the infrmation. Check the helpfile for that. But simply searching, as the previous poster stated helps greatly as well.
